Tort Liability and Reform - As enacted, allows a charitable organization that provides housing to a person whom the charitable organization knows is unlawfully present in the United States to be held liable for a loss, damages, injury, or death resulting from a criminal offense committed by the person who is unlawfully present in the United States while the person is receiving housing services from the charitable organization if the charitable organization's conduct in providing housing constitutes negligence, gross negligence, or willful and wanton misconduct. - Amends TCA Title 29, Chapter 34.

HB 811 changes Tennessee law to allow lawsuits against charitable housing organizations if they provide shelter to someone they know is undocumented and the organization was negligent in providing housing, leading to harm from a crime committed by that person. It applies only when the organization knew about the person's undocumented status and failed to meet basic safety standards. This creates civil liability for negligence, not criminal penalties, and affects nonprofits offering housing services in Tennessee. The law does not alter immigration status or criminal law but modifies tort liability rules for specific negligent conduct.
